Configuring IPX Source Routing (Token Ring Cards Only)
On an IPX/SPX network, the HP JetDirect Token Ring print server must be configured with the type of Token Ring source routing used on the network. In most cases, you can keep the default setting, which is AUTO (“Automatic”). However, you can manually set source routing if required.
Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled (IPX/SPX=ON*) before you can configure source routing.
The possible routing selections are:
Source Routing | Description |
|
|
AUTO (default) | The type of source routing required by the network |
| environment will be automatically sensed. |
|
|
OFF | All packets are sent without source routing. The JetDirect |
| card will only respond to stations that are on the same |
| ring. |
|
|
SINGLE R | All packets are sent with source routing. The Single Route |
| method is used for broadcasts and when the route is |
| unknown. |
|
|
ALL RT | All packets are sent with source routing. The All Routes |
| method is used for broadcasts and when the route is |
| unknown. |
